  • junkbrain_ Laura (@junkbrain_) reported

    these ****** Apex servers made me start up overwatch again, it's serious, pls fix :(

  • BraiselCoanel 🐸Branton🐸 (@BraiselCoanel) reported

    So glad I didn’t leave for Apex, Overwatch may be dogshit but at least we can login

  • DSGWho DSG (@DSGWho) reported

    Overwatch: DLC heroes reign supreme Valorant: DLC agents reign supreme Fortnite/warzone: DLC weapons and items reign supreme Apex: DLC weapons and legends reign supreme Yeah I can't see the problem with certain games at the moment

  • cryptid_anomaly spaceCryptid (@cryptid_anomaly) reported

    Oof actually I'm having some trouble getting the game up and running. Maybe some overwatch? #overwatch #smallstreamer

  • PheonixxFoxx Pheonixx Foxx (@PheonixxFoxx) reported

    @Esealia That will be a last resort, but I am also getting DC'd from Classic and Burning Crusade. As a test, I'm installing Hearthstone to see if the issue persists. There is a DC issue going on for Overwatch players.

  • shayfax olivia (@shayfax) reported

    i really want to play Overwatch but also at the same time i really don’t want to play Overwatch, do you see the problem here

  • Digital_Babe 👻Cassi👻 (@Digital_Babe) reported

    Stuck playing overwatch cause apex is unplayable have to keep ending task on the game just freezes up fix your **** smh !!

  • PheonixxFoxx Pheonixx Foxx (@PheonixxFoxx) reported

    @Seknathemonk It varies, I can log on for maybe 5-10 mins and then get DC'd. Other times, I log in and it is instant. Apparently, there is a DC issue going on for Overwatch players. I'm installing Hearthstone to see if the issue persists.

  • Kirby_Meister2 Moderate Trash Kirbymeister2 (@Kirby_Meister2) reported

    Overwatch more like overdead with a broken matchmaking system :/

  • k_killa224 K (@k_killa224) reported

    I can't remember the last time I've played overwatch without experiencing any sort of lag

  • dvaRetard23 REFORMED (@dvaRetard23) reported

    will be changing my horrible ways and apologizing to everyone I've affected (except for one person) my team and i are sorry for any problems we have caused in console masters overwatch.

  • CervaNovae Noa (@CervaNovae) reported

    @DCteen2003 Yeah but we didn't disconnect and it was literally just @UncrownedKingYT and I cause @saturnszyx didn't have this **** yesterday. So I'm wondering if this is overwatch servers or sum else. 😭

  • LuccasYTube Luccas Gaming (@LuccasYTube) reported

    @TimSweeneyEpic What you doing about the high number of cheaters in Fortnite... clearly the anti-cheat is not working. Its got 10 time worse from the start of S8. And only not long ago, a popular gaming mag article quoted that Fortnite has 3 time as many cheaters as Overwatch!!

  • coaIburner delaney (@coaIburner) reported

    @basiltuesday 90% of overwatch league teams are named like Shock, Uprising, Defiant, Mayhem, and while the names themselves are kinda bad the plurality is never an issue

  • itsFatTony TheRealFatTony (@itsFatTony) reported

    @EX_Rampage2 Everything is up to date. Bit rate is at 4000. Have no problem streamin cod or overwatch like you said, but apex spikes my cpu haarrrrdddd and makes it unwatchable/playable. It runs fine on highest setting when not streaming.

  • PVPX_ C9 PVPX (@PVPX_) reported

    @Respawn @PlayApex If Overwatch didn't create Brig this would never have been a problem

  • tyron_p1 Tyron (@tyron_p1) reported

    @LuluLuvely Just play overwatch, it's a good break while apex is broken.

  • Codddy_ Cody (@Codddy_) reported

    @PVPX_ Many other games have public testing servers. League has the PBE, overwatch had the PBR, and so on. Implementing it to apex would be an amazing idea to ensure **** like this stops happening and broken meta changes don't ship to live servers

  • Hagreto Reto Schneeberger (@Hagreto) reported

    @GyroPetra @PaladinsGame @HiRezArtShow I did too until it's downfall. Nobody is picking tank or healer in casuals at all which makes the game impossible to play alone if you are not willing to play just tanks and healers 24/7. But no worries, you are not alone with that problem. Overwatch has the exact same problem.

  • LShinez LoganShinez (@LShinez) reported

    @Respawn ******* fix your **** if you don’t want your game to die like overwatch… my goodness

  • GeneralGuardian Kiryu Kazuma (@GeneralGuardian) reported

    HEY @Blizzard_Ent REMOVE OR FIX OVERWATCH PVP!!!!! FIX BUGS GLITCHES HEROES A TON OF STUFF NEEDS FIXED! GAME ISN'T FUN ANYMORE

  • Veilynne Veilynne (@Veilynne) reported

    When are game devs gonna make something that ACTUALLY competes with Overwatch because you can point out all the ship jumpers, all the issue, all the zero content but at the end of the day, there's still nothing like it. Where's the competition man?

  • CaptainBlitz_ Blitz💙(Commissions open!) (@CaptainBlitz_) reported

    @SnowyNowak The Overwatch team works for Blizz and can't make decisions without their go-ahead, but is still a separate team and most of Blizzard's issues never came from them. Sorry not sorry.

  • ryannnnnnnnn52 ً (@ryannnnnnnnn52) reported

    @Loot_bxtes @Bropane1 @dafran The tramp literally got with another overwatch pro a week after breaking up with him. Instead of dealing with the situation legally, she cries on Twitter and uses mental issues for sympathy for her childish grudge that won't go anywhere

  • CorboliciousTv CorboliciousTv (@CorboliciousTv) reported

    @maxjzin @NICKMERCS 100% onboard for this. When I was playing league of legends full time that was one of my favorite parts. They had a launcher for the patches coming up. Overwatch does the same thing. People can login and play on new patches. They get extra skins and things like that.

  • Astronomical0_0 Jamil (@Astronomical0_0) reported

    @PlayApex @EA fix your ******* game y’all making me wanna go back to overwatch

  • falcochia chia 🍎 (@falcochia) reported

    wait so overwatch did audio changes to the game?? i thought it was my headset or my audio card bugging...i was confused and tried to fix my ****,,,like the sombra shooting sound so ******* bad like a scuffed 7.1

  • willsimp4tacos willsimp4tacos (@willsimp4tacos) reported

    @lowkeydbjosh once those issues are solved what are you going to do about all the other issues? You know, the ones created by you and your "dev" team, aka devolve team, aka glorified overwatch shills.

  • imuwuit (@imuwuit) reported

    If i get the same issue with square enix next month, i might reinstall Overwatch, **** it.
